Kiara leads Aarav to Anika's room, where they find her in a disturbed condition. Aarav immediately kneels down close to her while bringing his palms near her face.
'She is burning up, hand me a thermometer. You will be fine soon, Cherry, " Aarav says, cupping his hands over her cheeks.
"Here, take this. We need to act fast." Harsh says, handing him the thermometer and taking out other required equipment.
"Kiara, get me a warm blanket. We gotta get the shivering under control first." Aarav tells Kiara while switching on the thermometer.
Aarav slowly opened her mouth and securely placed the thermometer in.
As it was a digital thermometer, Aarav could see the temperature while it was being taken.
Kiara brings a warm blanket, which they place over the current blanket, making sure she was covered from the neck till her ankles, the palms hanging outside the quilt.
"Rub her palms and heels. It will help with the shivering." Harsh says to kiara while he himself does so.
Kiara started rubbing her heels, also noticing how gentle Harsh was while rubbing the palm of the arm with the wound.
"102 and still rising." Aarav says, holding the thermometer so that it doesn't move from underneath the tongue.
"She will definitely need a reducer. I am gonna take a look at her wound after the shivering stops."
"103.8, it's too high. She caught a fever this high very quickly. Kiara, please bring a bowl of water and napkin, please." Aarav says while taking her place and starts rubbing the heels.
"Let's wait for a few minutes. Once the shivering stops, we can check her." Aarav says, and kiara comes back in.
Kiara applies wet napkin on her forehead as instructed by Aarav.
"Anika was staying opposite our flat, Harsh, you knew it but didn't tell me. How come you know about it? first, tell me that."Aarav asks Harsh.
"I came to know just a few days back, Kiara and my parcels had got exchanged. At that time, I wasn't aware that you were friends." Harsh defended himself.
"But today you came to know na." Aarav asks, not leaving him excused.
"I told him not to tell you and Anika. Both of you would be pleasantly surprised by finding out yourselves. Now say the truth, you are happy, na?" Kiara interrupts in between.
"Of course I am happy. Let's remove the warm blanket. Anika has stopped shivering." Aarav says, standing up and pulling out the warm blanket, therafter touching her forehead.
"I hope her wound is not infected."Harsh says, slowly removing the bandage around the wound.
"Kiara, you can stop applying the wet napkin now. Do one work, wash the top of the thermometer." Aarav says, adjusting the remaining blanket to her waist level.
"Sure, let me wash it, will you need anything else?" Kiara asks, as if she knew they were going to assign another work for her.
"I will need an empty container or dustbin to dispose of the injection." Aarav says, taking into account what will be required.
"Aaah...Injection!!" exclaimed kiara.
"Yeah, for fever. The way you reacted seems like you are also afraid of injections like Anika?" Harsh asks, making eye contact with Kiara.
"Of course not." Kiara says and goes out.
"We just avoided a big problem. The wound is not infected. I was worried about it." Harsh says while inspecting it.
